Launch of Brighton & Hove International Migrant Needs Assessment

We are pleased to be involved and attended with our Community Researchers.

The language barrier and need for interpreting was central to the IMNA. We remain particularly concerned at barriers to accessing BHCC Housing Services for the 2,500 residents who do not speak English well, or at all and will continue to gather and share information.

Can you help with tuition support for 2 Syrian refugee children please?

Hi all, my refugee friend from Syria is very keen to get extra help, once a week after school, with English and maths for her 2 kids, aged 9 and 10.

The kids speak English fleuntly, but are not very strong on reading and writing. She is very worried they are falling behind.

Do you know anyone who may be able to do this on a regular weeky basis? The teacher would need to know the curriculum and it woud be ideal if they could speak Arabic so they can explain to my friend how the kids are doing, but this is not essential.

The family live near Portslade and will be able to pay a small amount for the teaching.
